An exploration of changes in plantar pressure distributions during walking with standalone and supported lateral wedge insole designs

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2021
Background Lateral wedge insoles (LWI), standalone or with medial arch support (supported‐LWI), have been thoroughly investigated for their effects on modifying gait biomechanics for people with knee osteoarthritis. However, plantar pressure distribution

Effects of Robot-Assisted Therapy on Gait Parameters in Pediatric Patients With Spastic Cerebral Palsy

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Background: Gait dysfunction is a crucial factor that restricts independence and quality of life in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Gait training based on robotic-assisted therapy (RAT) is widely used, but information about effectiveness and ideal ...

WAVELET ANALYSIS OF PROTEIN MOTION [PDF]

International Journal of Wavelets, Multiresolution and Information Processing, 2012
As high-throughput molecular dynamics simulations of proteins become more common and the databases housing the results become larger and more prevalent, more sophisticated methods to quickly and accurately mine large numbers of trajectories for relevant information will have to be developed.

Intramuscular Pressure of Tibialis Anterior Reflects Ankle Torque but Does Not Follow Joint Angle-Torque Relationship

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Intramuscular pressure (IMP) is the hydrostatic fluid pressure that is directly related to muscle force production. Electromechanical delay (EMD) provides a link between mechanical and electrophysiological quantities and IMP has potential to detect local

Intramuscular Pressure of Human Tibialis Anterior Muscle Reflects in vivo Muscular Activity

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Intramuscular pressure (IMP) is the fluid hydrostatic pressure generated within a muscle and reflects the mechanical forces produced by a muscle. By providing accurate quantification of interstitial fluid pressure, the measurement of IMP may be useful to
